Enjoy today's blue sky and warm temperature because a succession of cold fronts will eat it like a ravenous Arctic beast by this weekend and again early next week.

Meanwhile, the last gasp of a sputtering hurricane season is swirling around the North Atlantic in the form of Tropical Storm Melissa with 10 days to go before the season's formal end. Not that the season cooperates with the calendar.

Those chances ramp up to 60 percent by Friday as the temperature begins a downward plummet late Friday into early Saturday with daytime temperature kept at a low- to mid-50s by overhanging clouds and lingering rain.

Wind will whip with northerly gusts, Lockwood said.

Sunday should be a little drier and brighter, just in time for the next cold front to descend on Monday with a wakeup around 40 degrees - even some upper 30s.
